Powers: Sunswift is a solar being, tied directly to the lifespan of sol, and granted extraordinary abilities. Sunswift's origins are mysterious, but are hinted at both by Avatar and by Vandervecken. Sunswift is clearly the most powerful member of the Futurians, but is limited by her ability to assist her teammates and her solar dependence:
Sunswift has displayed the following powers:

• Immunity: Fire, Heat, Radiation, Toxins, Disease, Aging*, Energy
• Solar Dependency: Sunswift's lifespan is tied directly with the sun, meaning while she will live millions of years, she will eventually die. Sunswift begins the game with 1000 points of power, which regenerate through exposure to sunlight. Sunswift must discharge 750 points of energy before entering earth's atmosphere, and can regenerate up to 50 points per solar day. Sunswift must maintain at least forty points to return to the sun, and cannot exceed her abilities while earthbound.
• Omani-Incarnation Awareness: Sunswift is in contact with her various incarnations and communicate with herself telepathically over any time. As such, Sunswift has the knowledge and experience of herself millions of years in the future, hence her skill listings. Sunswift theoretically knows every language and everything she has ever encountered, read, or experienced.
• Plasma Generation: Sunswift can fire bolts of plasma up to Mn (75) damage (Heat/Fire/Light side-effects). These bolts do not take away from her power total
• Energy Sponge: Sunswift can absorb up to 100 points of energy, which replenishes her power pool.
• Flight: Sunswift can travel up to Cl3000 speeds easily, limiting herself to Un (100) in atmosphere.
• Healing: Sunswift can heal herself and others by expending points from her power pool.
• Temperature Control: Sunswift can manipulate the temperature in areas and objects with Am (50) ability
• Energy Sheath: Sunswift is constantly generating an energy sheath at Un (100) ability. As such, only a few individuals can actually touch Sunswift and not receive serious burns (Even Avatar is hesitant).

Limitations:
Unusual Looks: Sunswift is exotic, but still suffers from unusual looks
Loyal to Earth/Sun: Sunswift is loyal to the people of Earth, and more importantly, to her home
Tied to the Sun: Sunswift is tied to the sun, and as such, what happens to it happens to her.


Note: Sunswift is the only other Futurian not bound by Vandervecken's mind control.

(as Hawker)
Aerial Combat

Powers:
Future Dynamics Uplift:
Matthew has been genetically uplifted by a combination of radiation/biochemistry/genetic manipulation which grants him superhuman powers. Werehawk has displayed the following powers:
- Transformation: Triggered by stress and/or conscious desire, Werehawk transforms from his normal self into a bloodthirsty combat monster who takes on avian characteristics. Werehawk is completely merciless in his altered form, but is not mindless: While Werehawk cannot speak or act as Matthew Blackfeather, Werehawk does recognize teammates as well as the difference between threats and innocents.
- Claws: Werehawk possesses talons which can rend up to In (40) materials, halving effective defenses and being able to tear through much stronger materials with effort.
- Enhanced Vision: Werehawk's vision is very acute, capable of Ex (20) telescopic vision
- Stealth: While flying, Werehawk can be incredibly stealthy, granting him Gd (10) stealth
- Flight: Werehawk can fly up to Mn (75) speeds, but cannot press his speed any faster. Werehawk as effected a charging attack similar to his avian nature and can do so from two areas.
- Healing: When Werehawk reverts to Matthew, any wound suffered seem to be healed so long as Werehawk has not suffered below 46 points of health.
- Multiple Attacks: Werehawk gains 2 additional melee attacks per round.
- Body resistance: Werehawk has gd (10) protection against physical attacks.

Limitations:
VanderVecken Control: As part of the genetic manipulation over centuries, Werehawk and the rest of the Futurians (Except Avatar) are unable to resist the control of VanderVecken. As such, should Werehawk come into conflict with VanderVecken, he will immediately be rendered 'forgetful' and will not remember the incident.

Berserker: Werehawk is a traditional berserker, often flinging himself into combat without knowing the risks.

Uncontrollable Powers: Werehawk cannot easily trigger his transformation, either from Matthew Blackhawk or back to Matthew Blackhawk. While Matthew can trigger the change, it isn't always certain he'll transform. Matthew needs a yellow FEAT to intentional change into Werehawk. Note: Werehawk will never willingly return to Blackhawk while in combat.

Powers:
Silver Shadow benefits from centuries of genetic seeding by future humanity:
Future Dynamics Uplift:
Jonathan has been genetically uplifted by a combination of radiation/biochemistry/genetic manipulation which grants him superhuman powers. The Silver Shadow has displayed the following powers:
- Shadow form: Silver Shadow can convert his body into an intangible shadow form, which renders him immaterial and allows him to move through the narrowest of spaces. While in Shadow form, Silver Shadow is nearly immune to physical damage, although can be affected with light and energy based weaponry and forced into his physical form.
- Shadow Control: More than shadow Shaping, Silver Shadow can affect the shadows in an area he is in with Mn (75) ability, granting him complete control over the darkness in a region. Silver Shadow can animate the darkness, have it completely blind an area, and even move objects and/or affect the physical world at rank level.
- Teleport: Silver Shadow can teleport between shadows and take individuals with him at his power rank. Silver Shadow must have existing shadows capable of shifting dimensions, and actually is believed to be more akin to dimensional travel rather than the traditional line-of-sight teleportation.

Contacts:

• The Futurians
• Future Dynamics
• Various Intelligence agencies around the world

Limitations:

• VanderVecken Control: As part of the genetic manipulation over centuries, Silver Shadow and the rest of the Futurians (Except Avatar) are unable to resist the control of Vandervecken. As such, should the Silver Shadow come into conflict with Vandervecken, he will immediately be rendered 'forgetful' and will not remember the incident.
• Need for Darkness The Silver Shadow needs darkness and shadow for his powers to work, and seems very uncomfortable outside of them. As such, light-based attacks do an additional +1cs damage, and can force a Psyche FEAT to force Jonathan back into a physical form. In addition, Jonathan cannot create shadows, but must use the darkness as it exists.

Note:
While Silver Shadow is perhaps one of the more 'straightforward' Futurians in powers, his level of control is perhaps the greatest and his ability to develop new stunts is pretty spiffy. I would actually rate him one of the more powerful figures in the Futurians, perhaps rivaling in his own way Sunswift if given time.

Limitations:

• VanderVecken Control: As part of the genetic manipulation over centuries, BlackMane and the rest of the Futurians (Except Avatar) are unable to resist the control of Vandervecken. As such, should BlackMane come into conflict with Vandervecken, he will immediately be rendered 'forgetful' and will not remember the incident. BlackMane seems to suffer more from this control as does Werehawk.
• Inhuman Appearance: Walter is permanently in his BlackMane form, which suits him fine. Still, BlackMane is one of the more inhuman Futurians, and suffers responses accordingly.
• Joker: BlackMane has a wry sense of humor, and is more akin to Dr. Hank McCoy.

Note: Walter spoils for a fight, a good old fashioned knock-down knuckle duster, and is often the loudest mouth on the team, as well as the most adjusted to what's happened to him. His sense of humor combined with his bombastic personality made him one of my favorites.

Note: Silkie is the most uncertain of the Futurians and feels a constant need to prove herself. Silkie is however very capable and is still learning what powers she possesses.

Future Dynamics Uplift:
Dana has been genetically uplifted by a combination of radiation/biochemistry/genetic manipulation which grants her superhuman powers. Dana has displayed the following powers:

• True Flight: Rm (30) airspeed
• Vibration Generation: Mosquito can generate powerful vibrational energies, capable of blasting a hole through steel bulkheads with In (40) ability. As Mosquito has recently gained her powers, it is unknown if she has mastered anything else.

Equipment:
Costume: Dana's costume was shown in the short-lived 3-issue comic series to provide Gd (10) protection vs. physical and energy attacks.

Pistol: Dana possesses a dart pistol capable of firing a range of ammunition. As of the comic series, the pistol was shown to fire two types:
- Sleep Darts: Capable of rendering a target unconscious for up to four hours with Rm (30) intensity
- Explosive Darts: Capable of doing Rm (30) damage to a single person or area.
Dana can fire three darts per round with a 1 area range.

As such, should Mosquito come into conflict with Vandervecken, she will immediately be rendered 'forgetful' and will not remember the incident.
• Impulsive: Among all of the Futurians, Mosquito is the most hot-headed and impulsive, which leads her into trouble. Mosquito once threw her gun away believing it only fired tranquilizer darts, only to remember there were other settings.

Note: While Mosquito at first the apparently weakest member of the Futurians, it was strongly hinted she had not fully gained her abilities and/or had others related to her uplifted physiology. It could be surmised these would possibly include vibration related powers or even shrinking.

Talents:
As Avatar has been alive for over three thousand years, he has multiple talents and disciplines. So far, Avatar has shown to possess:
Martial Arts A, B, C, D, E
Business/Finance
Leadership*
Horsemanship
Rope use
Multi-Lingual
Military*
Law*
Medicine*
Knowledge: Inheritors
Knowledge: Superhuman activities
Knowledge: Conspiracies
Knowledge: Ancient World
Knowledge: Art
History
Occult Lore: Egyptian

Avatar theoretically could have dozens of additional talents.


Powers:
Uplifted Physiology: Avatar was one of the first humans to benefit from the genetic seeders that were sent back in time to arm humanity. As such, Avatar already had abilities prior to the genetic uplift performed at Future Dynamics. Avatar's abilities prior to the uplift included:
- Longevity: Avatar does not age, or ages very very slowly. As such, Avatar looks to be in his thirties when in fact he is ancient.
- Recovery: Avatar recovers Endurance ranks with Ex (20) ability
- Danger Sense: Avatar's experience has given him something akin to Danger Sense, allowing him to perceive patterns and danger with Rm (30) ability.
- Omni-Knowledge: Avatar's vast experience has allowed him to make incredibly good guesses with little to no facts or information with Mn (75) ability. Avatar figured out some time in the ancient past that the future had been affecting human development, that there was a war on the horizon, and that he was a product of that evolutionary involvement before evolution was a concept. Avatar can spend two rounds analyzing a situation and make a roll to determine additional facts and/or overlooked details, as well as predict accurately results depending on the color of his FEAT roll.
- Resist: Toxins, Disease, and Poisons: Am (50) resistance. In addition, Avatar has burned out the compulsion that was genetically programmed into each of the Futurians from Vandervecken.

Future Dynamics uplift:
Although already powerful, the further uplift to Avatar granted him additional abilities and powers:
- Superhuman Strength: Avatar's strength was increased to its current limits.
- Superhuman Endurance: Avatar's Endurance was increased to current limits
- True Invulnerability: Amazing (50) True Invulnerability
- True Flight: Mn (75) True Flight
- Hyper Speed: As shown in the comics, Avatar can move in bursts of speed with Rm (30) ability, increasing his reaction times and flight speed accordingly
- Regeneration*: Avatar actually regenerates damage as shown in issue #1 and issue #2 with Ex (20) ability.
- Resist: Power Manipulation: Avatar can resist basic attempts to negate his power with Rm (30) ability.

Limitations:

• Emotionally Detached: Avatar is perhaps the most detached of the group, which makes him 'cold' to everyone but Sunswift. In addition, Avatar sees the purpose of the Futurians as nothing short of manipulation, and continues to serve as a feeling of necessity for humanity rather than loyalty to the group.
• Overprotective: Avatar has displayed a sense of overprotective 'fatherly' behavior towards Silkie and Mosquito, and will go out of his way for Sunswift.
• Overconfident: Avatar is very certain of himself, which has led to his own blindsiding.
